Reality

Reality Bites is undeniably one of the most “real” movies I have ever experienced. It takes a brutally honest look at life, love and the pursuit of gainful employment in the ‘90s. The realness of it captivates me every time I watch it.

Here’s some signature quote from the film that make me smile:

Troy Dyer: I am not under any orders to make the world a better place.

Lelaina Pierce: I'd like to somehow make a difference in peoples' lives.
Troy Dyer: And I... I would like to buy them all a Coke.
Lelaina Pierce: And you wonder why we never got involved?

Troy: The only thing you have to be by the age of 23 is yourself.
Lelaina: Yeah, well, I'm not sure who that is anymore.

Troy: [answering the phone] Hello, you've reached the winter of our discontent.

Troy: I'm picking up some very strange vibes. They're of the "I just got laid" variety.

Troy: I'm bursting with fruit flavour.

Vickie Miner: He's weird, he's strange, he's sloppy, he's a total nightmare for women... I can't believe I haven't slept with him yet.

Lelaina: Are you religious?
Michael: Um, uh, I guess uh, I guess I'm a non-practicing Jew.
Lelaina: Hey, I'm a non-practicing virgin.

Vickie: I'm late for a jean folding seminar. Let's locomote!

Oh, and for all of you who don’t know already, Ethan and I are currently planning our wedding. We are registered and Tiffany’s and Bloomingdale’s. Just ask them for the Miller/Hawke registry! :-)
